Firefox — Fora społeczności

Hello,

Since a recent update, I can no longer drag and drop files from the Firefox downloads panel directly into Outlook Web (webmail) as an email attachment. This used to work fine before.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a file (e.g. a PDF) 2. Open the downloads panel (the arrow icon in the toolbar) 3. Try to drag the file from the panel into the attachment area of a new email in Outlook Web 4. The file does not get attached — nothing happens

Expected behavior: the file should be attached to the email, as it was before.

Workaround: I have to open the downloads folder via the folder icon in the panel, then drag from Windows Explorer instead.

Firefox version: 150.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Windows Webmail: Outlook Web (outlook.office.com or outlook.com)

This is a regression, it worked in previous versions. Is there a fix planned?

Thank you.

Hello,

As you can see always ask where to save is selected but whenever I download a PDF file it doesn't ask me and it just saves to downloads. How can I fix that?

A couple of years ago the down-loader was not working very well until I found a Beta version and has worked well for you tube . Now a lot of videos when played back are in another language that sounds like French , not sure. my settings are on English and so are you tubes. It has been happening the most when I download Affinity designer tutorials new and old version of affinity . When I listen to the video I'm downloading on you tube it's English as soon as its done downloading its in another language.

I have "Always ask you where to save files" checked but when I save a file I don't get asked where to save the file and it's going into Downloads. I didn't have this issue before. Something isn't working right since the last few updates.

As the title says, today I started getting the windows popup about selecting an app to open that file type, every time I download one.

Edit: I figured it out

This setting, "Always ask you where to save files," is definitely broken.

In a related article, they provided this solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1534384 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1534384]

Proposed solution: "I believe you also need to go into Tools -> Settings -> General and set the Action for the types of downloads (Applications) to Always Ask for those types you want it to."

But this workaround should not be needed. "Always ask" means always ask. As in always. No other additional steps should be needed.

Can you folks please open a bug to get this fixed? This used to work just fine in (much) older versions of Firefox and Netscape. "Always ask" is supposed to mean always ask. Like, always.

Hi, I've recently discovered that Firefox replaces the % with underscore while downloading file.

I've read that question: https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/1439267 but there is no answer.

Is there a way to prevent that? I use a online tool I've made myself and the % is used as a separator.

Hi. I'd like to know that there is a way to stop download torrent files and just let my torrent client /qbittorrent/ handle it. Even after i set it to open them with qbittorrent Firefox still downloads those files. I mean can delete them manually, but it is quite annoying.

Whether the file is opened internally or directly downloaded to the desktop, the file name will be automatically changed to garbled text。This led to me manually correcting the file name to be correct every time I downloaded, and my installation of the "Download File Name Encoding" plugin was also ineffective.

Hello! See the screenshot please: so, I downloaded à pay-bill, with Firefox (under ubuntu), in private navigation, and I get the file with a padlock-symbol at the end. What means that? What means that for me (on my computer), what means that for à friend, when I sent him the pdt-file (can he open it?). Nota: I understood that I can choose between "delete downloads when closing the privat window" or not. And I choosed not to delete them (but there appears this padlock-symbol). Thanks for your help!
